Anyone use a vicks vaporizer

Post by sapphireskye » Sat Dec 31, 2005 2:08 am

I am curious. Is it ok to use a vicks vaporizer humidifier, or a humidifier with this type of medication for congestion in the room along with using your CPAP with its own humidifier? I was wondering if this might help me breath better and not get so congested at night.

Just curious

Happy New year
and God bless

I have a waterless Vicks vaporizer that I use when I have colds. It sets on the night stand next to my cpap machine. I can still smell the Vicks when I have my mask on. So yes it does help.

SS,
Don't have a Vicks Vaporizer in my room, but have been putting a little Vicks around my nose on on my chest for congestion lately. It really helps me feel better!!!
